Hi Pritesh, You need serverPath="\\your-vss-server\vss-share\path\to\vss" in your Ant task. This path must be where the srcsafe.ini file is *on the server*.
Hope this helps Keith -----Original Message----- From: Pritesh Saharey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 28 January 2005 07:00 To: Ant Users List Subject: RE: Uff VSS, hanging No boss its not working, as I think vssget is trying to get the latest source code from local m/c, as I am failing to understand that how come VssGet task come's to know that it has to get the latest source from remote m/c untill and unless you supply some m/c name or its IP, beacuse I navigated to 'srcsafe.ini', 'ss.ini' files in local m/c there I found nothing which can show me that VSS server is in remote m/c. Actual scenario is like this, I have to get the latest java source from VSS server which is deployed on m/c Remote1 and my build.xml file is running on m/c Remote2 (both m/c's are in LAN), now from this Remote1 m/c I have to fetch latest source to Remote2 m/c. And after making changes in my build.xml file as suggested by murali it started giving me error like this C:\downloads\take>ant build.xml Apache Ant version 1.6.0 compiled on December 18 2003 Buildfile: build.xml Detected Java version: 1.4 in: c:\j2sdk1.4.2_03\jre Detected OS: Windows 2000 parsing buildfile C:\downloads\take\build.xml with URI = file:///C:/downloads/take/build.xml Project base dir set to: C:\downloads\take Build sequence for target `release' is [vssget-source, release] Complete build sequence is [vssget-source, release, company-info, ] vssget-source: [vssget] No VSS database (srcsafe.ini) found.

Can anyone help me out, I will be thakful to you. Atleast some comments from where I can get an idea that VssGet task is really useful from getting source from a remote m/c or not.
